So what are the different types of investment?﻿ What do they all mean?

﻿Well, this is what they mean.

﻿When someone is investing they are buying a part of a company (stock). This is beneficial because they would get money if the company is succeeding. But if the company is going down then they would be loosing money. Liquidity is a way in which someone is able to convert their assets to cash. Return is used to measure the return on assets, which can also be called ROA. Risk or safety displays the levels of risk and if it safe or not.

Now there are different types of investment but the one that we will be focusing on is collectibles. A collectible is any item that is worth far more than it appears to be because of how rare it is or how much demand it has. Think of it as having a coin from a lost pirate fleet 100 years ago. Today that would be worth more than the average collectible coin due to its significance or the rarity. ﻿

﻿The safety/risk result from buying a collectible is that if you buy it then you can sell it for a higher price. The risk of buying one is that there is a chance that the object can be fake. The liquidity behind a collectible is that someone is going to get paid in cash. The return for a collectible is that you will get the money back if you were able to sell the item. To be able to buy a collectible someone would need to go to a shop that sells those types of items. http://www.themint.org/teens/what-is-the-stock-market.html
